Because of GRAMPS Gramps internationalization ability, the default character set for the HTML pages is UTF-8. This provides support for virtually all characters.

The Apache web server is sometimes misconfigured to override the character set specified in an HTML page. This causes problems with the UTF-8 character set generated by GRAMPSGramps, distorting characters on the screen.

While the default for GRAMPS Gramps is to place a notice indicating that all rights are reserved, we give you the option to place your site under one of several of the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses Creative Commons licenses]. With a Creative Commons license, you grant user's certain permission to use your data without requiring them to contact you directly for permission.

Privacy of personal information is an important issue on the web today. GRAMPS Gramps tries to give you control over the information that is presented.

GRAMPS Gramps provides two options to control the privacy of your information. If you select the '''Do not include records marked private''' option, any data that is marked as private will not be displayed on the generated site. If you select '''Restrict information on living people''', GRAMPS Gramps will attempt to determine which people have the potential of still being alive, and will omit these people from the database. Some countries have laws that indicate that a certain number of years must pass after someone's death before information can be published. The '''Years to restrict from a person's death''' option allows you to specifiy how many years a person must be deceased before the information is included.

Please note that it is your responsibility to double check all information in the pages for any privacy information. GRAMPS Gramps cannot be held responsible for any privacy issues.
